And like magic, maxelman.com looks completely different. I believe this is number 6 or so? Maybe with some digging, and archive.org, I can make a little “history of” page. That would be… embarrassing..

So, new design = good? Let me know in the comments!

I’ve been looking closely at the spam that Google manages not to block lately. On one hand, I’m disappointed Google missed one out of nine thousand this month, but I’m also a little glad, as this kind of thing shines a bit of happiness onto my internal image of spammers. I mean, this is nearly poetry! I can picture literary snobs in a thousand years or so trying to analyze this kind of thing. This will be normal, and all emails that don’t contain gibberish will be put into a folder by themselves by future-Google.

Wait, who am I kidding. Google probably will append a few smaller companies they acquire onto their name for good measure. Like, Googlesofthoo - Mart.

Anyhow, here’s the message:

While I might be a tad late on this, it appears the crazy success of The Dark Knight brought some Michael Caine attention to the media. And thus, I realized I missed his 75th birthday. Shame. In honor of one of my favorite actors though, a picture. Just stare at this for a while, and take in the awesomeness. (taken from here)

I’ve put up the first round of photos from Europe in my new web-gallery:

Have a look!

Apparently I forgot to let this blog know that I’m cheating on it.. I’ve made a new travel-blog or sorts for my trip to Europe - check it out at europe.maxelman.com! I’ve been updating it daily (hourly, even), and I think it’s pretty exciting. You have to love technology - the iPhone in particular made this all happen.
